The 2023 Miami Open presented by Itaú Women’s Singles main draw was announced this Sunday with some interesting first-round matches. And probably the most exciting among them will be the battle between two former US Open champions: Canadian Bianca Andreescu, who won at Flushing Meadows in 2019, and Emma Raducanu, from Great Britain, who surprisingly lifted the trophy back in 2021.
And there were only two: between the seven American players that started the day in the 2023 Miami Open Women’s Qualifying First Round, only College standouts Peyton Stearns and Emma Navarro have won and still stand a chance to get a spot into the main draw.
